Needs Apple Watch app to be perfect
I love this app and how it works. The visuals are beautiful and the range of emotions are unmatched on any other app.
The ONLY thing it’s missing is being able to record my feelings on my Apple Watch. I’d respond much more often and get better records if I could do it on my wrist! Please consider this feature as it would make the app easier to use and also would be useful for children and young people who only have a smart watch, but would benefit from this app.

Stops me thinking feelings
How We Feel is amazing, easy to use, UI is simple and attractive, and gives you videos to watch that usually I’d get annoyed at but it’s short bites of useful information.
This app easily allows myself to check in with how I’m feeling as I’m going through a deep sadness in my life.
I think feelings, I don’t feel feelings, but How We Feel allows me to put a name to a feeling and develop an understanding of how that feeling works on a more substantial level.

Everyone needs this
Over the past few months I’ve been trying to understand myself on a deeper level. I lost my way and with a bunch of personal stuff, I found myself burying my emotions in numbing and medicating behavior (not substances but other means). Now that I finally stopped, every emotion is coming out at once and for awhile, I had no idea how to deal with them. It developed into a deep sadness and I had no idea what to do. My therapist recommended this app to me and after trying it, it’s made my life much better. First off, it’s free. You never see a free app like this because of the usual paywalls and subscriptions. Second, it gives me a chance to consider what emotion(s) I’m feeling and helps me talk it out. Going deeper with it gives me choices and chances to tell myself how to feel better and what to do to soothe any nerves or negative emotions. I’ve been using this app for over 40 days straight and it’s definitely helped me through rough times, especially with it being finals season. Thank you for this app. It will help people more than you would think possible. I think everyone should use it! Only complaint is the exercise and sleep measurement feature but I can easily try and fix that. I’m sure it works if I pick the right options.

love the app! don’t love the AI…
my therapist recommended my girlfriend and i try using this app to improve our communication, and it’s done wonders! it’s expanded my vocabulary when it comes to describing my emotions, and made it much easier to communicate to her and to others how i’m feeling. it’s been a great tool for me in my mental health journey.
i was disappointed to see the addition of AI to an app i use to journal my emotions and inner thoughts. i don’t like the idea that my private thoughts might be used to train the AI, and it feels unnecessary in an app like this. i understand the intention is to help people gain insight into why they’re feeling a certain way, however it feels like users are expected to take mental health advice from or confide in a robot with no mental health training. it feels impersonal to me, and saddened me to see this feature on an app i use daily.
i would have loved to see these resources used to add other useful features; more to the incredibly helpful “tools” section of the app, an option to enter custom emotions with descriptions, or a quiz of some kind that can be taken to help identify the correct emotion word one can attribute to any given moment, to name a few. the AI might be great for some, but personally, it caused me to lose faith in the app and made me sad when i feel like there could be more helpful features added with the resources used to add an unnecessary AI.

Response from developer
Thank you for trying how we feel! The ai feature is optional. We know it’s not for everyone. If you do decide to give it a try, your journal entries will not be used to train models per an agreement made with Open Ai. Hope that is helpful!
This is my favourite app in the App Store
This app rocks. It’s free and it helps me SO MUCH. I have alexithymia (I struggle to identify emotions) and this app + it’s “go deeper” AI features are exactly what I needed. Thank-you so much, app devs. Y’all really saved the day here.
Support?
I detest having to choose either high or low and pleasant or unpleasant, more so at the start.
Can’t I just be OK sometimes?
Couldn’t find a way to share these thoughts: 1) I saw a review, asking to be able to change the time entries, so one could log how they’re feeling at an earlier time, but I did not see the suggestion implemented in the version log, even though the response to review suggested developer would make that change. (Update: it seems the change was implemented but wasn’t listed in the version history) 2) When setting up the app initially, I was given 4 times of day to check in; the labels on these times didn’t make sense for my way of thinking. I’d like to be able to check in when I wake up, late morning, mid afternoon, and in the evening. These times are based on my recollection of significant periods of time where I am aware of significant mood shifts, times of acute awareness. The labels offered, morning afternoon, evening and evening didn’t seem right. 3) Selecting one mood feels too constrained; I certainly feel more than one mood at a time. 4) It needs a lock, so someone using my phone isn’t able to access my info.

The Best App
This app has been transformational in helping me to understand my feelings and emotions while giving me insights and suggestions for how I can navigate and understand those emotions. I’m checking in with myself 3 to 4 times per day, and the journal option is wonderful to look back on and get insights into my psyche. Using this app in tandem with other. Emotional tools, such as meditation, yoga and breath. Work has been so wonderful and has left me with a feeling of well-being self accept and love.

Go deeper doesn’t go deeper
Love this app, it has been a great tool to put words on my feelings and I love the new addition of go deeper. However it keeps bugging when you hit the button go deeper a second time, bringing the “finish” and “go deeper” buttons to the top and not showing the new prompt or anything else. Even after updating it still does the same issue and once you hit finish it shows the follow up question but there’s no option to edit or even add text to it. A little frustrating. Tried re-entering the mood 3x and it does the same over and over again.
